Cookie dough
is all the rage these days. The Roasting Plant coffee shop in
downtown Detroit has hopped on the bandwagon with gourmet cookie
dough shots.

As described in an article in the Detroit Free Press, “The uncooked dough balls,
studded with chunks of dark chocolate, are sold in shot-glass-sized
plastic cups in a cooler in front of the shop's cash
registers.”

Small shots, the equivalent of half a cookie, are $1.49. Large
shots, equal to a whole cookie, cost $2.49.

As we posted earlier this year, the USDA warned consumers on Twitter: “Don’t eat
the raw dough! It contains uncooked eggs that may contain
Salmonella bacteria.” But don’t worry about these cookie dough
shots being a threat to your health.

Shop manager Kristen Wing has taken this into consideration, as
she explained to the Detroit Free Press. “The cookie dough is the
same as the cookies, except it's made with pasteurized eggs so it
won't make you sick,” Wing said.

Birthdays
are kind of a big deal at Fairytale Brownies. Some of us decorate
cubicles with balloons, streamers and confetti, and shower each
other with gifts of food and little surprises - all to let our
co-workers know they are special. And then we receive a treat from
the owners of the company. I have to say - it doesn't matter how
old you are, that little bit of appreciation boosts your spirits so
much that you feel like you can do anything that day.

Companies will email us a spreadsheet listing the names, birth
dates and addresses to send for a particular month. Then we will
ship the specific gift requested by the birth dates with the
specified gift messages. Some companies choose to deliver brownies to employees, clients or
vendors at their home address. Others ship brownies to their work address. Either
way, the recipient is sure to receive a fresh box of...

Thirty-five
years after he was born on this day in 1849, Marcellus Gilmore
Edson changed life as we know it. (Or, at least as I know it, since
I’m somewhat addicted to his invention.)

According to Wikipedia, the Canadian pharmacist became the first
person to patent peanut butter in 1884. In his patent application,
he described peanut butter as having “a consistency like that of
butter, lard, or ointment” and requiring peanuts to be milled to “a
fluid or semi-fluid state.”

If that sounds less than appetizing, our peanut butter-flavored
gourmet brownies and cookie gifts may do the trick for you.

Our customer service team lead Ellie Perry is especially fond of
the cookie. “The peanut butter cookie is a classic-style cookie,”
she said. “Rich peanut butter flavor with just the right amount of
crunch on the edge and soft texture in the middle. LOVE IT!”

Bill Murray’s 1993 comedy hit Groundhog Day is as key to my
knowledge of the holiday as Punxsutawney Phil. As you may recall,
Murray’s character was doomed to repeat Groundhog Day over and over
until he managed to successfully woo costar Andie MacDowell.

Over the last couple years, we’ve asked our teammates which of
our gourmet brownie and cookie gifts is their favorite. These are
the treats they’d enjoy again and again … just in case Groundhog
Day repeats.

“My favorites have got to be
the Toffee Crunch Brownie. I love
the crunchiness of the toffee when it comes straight out of the
refrigerator. Also, the Fairytale Bars are just
so good. I can’t resist the Cheesecake Swirl Bar. Our
sweet and buttery bars can't be beat.” ~ Jasmin Santiago, retail

You may not have seen one yet,
but 3D printers are the next big thing.

What are they? 3D printers
create real-life versions of digital files by layering threads of
plastic on top of one another. NASA recently emailed a file of a
wrench to the International Space Station and the astronauts aboard
“printed” it to tighten a bolt. How cool is that?!?

Not all use cases for a 3D
printer are as glamorous. But they sure can be tasty.

Cookie Casteris a new website where you can design a custom
cookie cutter and print it on your in-home 3D printer. Now that
would make for some unique cookie gifts!

What, you don’t have your own 3D
printer yet? Well, don’t worry about that. As long as you don’t
mind your cookies being round, you canorder cookies by mailfrom Fairytale Brownies.

Growing up in the dry desert
climate of metro Phoenix, I had little exposure to changing leaves.
In fact, my understanding of fall color was pretty much limited to
exterior shots of college football stadiums in the
Midwest.

Well, late last month I ventured
into the forests of northern Arizona to do a little leaf peeping. I
loved what I found. Reds. Oranges. Golds. Ah yes. Fall was in the
air!

If you’re as excited about fall
as I was in that moment, then Fairytale Brownies has you covered
with gourmet brownies with a fall theme.

We offer more than two dozen
configurations of ourgourmet brownies with
fall-themed bands. Wrapped in a
festive Happy Thanksgiving or golden fall gift band, these Belgian
chocolate brownies are a great way to warm your loved one’s hearts
and souls on cool autumn evenings.

At Fairytale Brownies our goal is to
"simplify gift giving and spread joy through gourmet chocolate
brownies." For each one of the business services we create, we ask
ourselves, "will this feature make the ordering process easier for
the customer?" Especially when it comes to corporate gift giving
and business gift giving. We understand that the business world is
very hectic and the last thing that we have time for these days is
to figure out how to send holiday gifts, or say thank you to
referrals, clients and business associates alike.

Here are a few of the business services that Fairytale Brownies
has implemented to ease the strain of ordering corporate gifts or
business gifts for the holidays or for year-round incentive
programs.
